For values of "works" that include non-working, randomly positioned play/stop buttons, 100%
CPU usage, bad network buffering.

I used to use Gnash but if it's installed when I load my 80+ entry Comics tab, Gnash tries to
play *every* flash animation loaded even if it isn't visible on the page or on the tab.  At
100% CPU *per animation* load climbs to 20+ before it falls over from memory exhaustion.

So did you submit the URL to the Gnash guys, so they could debug the problem?
